Lupe's POV As usual, I was working in the kitchen with the only maids when a young girl who served Luna Fiona walked in timidly."Hey kid, what are you doing here?" Mira asked stalking towards the girl. The little girl moved back in fright, "The Luna sent me." She muttered."Luna?" Mira scoffed, "the last I checked, we have no Luna." The young girl moved back obviously intimidated. "Scram away before I send you fly with my palm." Mira snapped at the girl who bite back her tears. "Stop it!" I snapped at Mira, my tone shocking everyone including myself. "And who do you think you are to speak to me in that manner?" Mira asked frowning. "Silence! Assemble in the general meeting room, the Royal physician is here for the annual check up of the King's maids." A guard shouted standing by the door.My heart stopped. I'm doomed. All the maids tensed, they were obviously not expecting this. "Did you still do it with Harry?" A hushed voice asked. "I did, but I'm not pregnant right?" An
Lupe's POV Fiona grinned, her white teeth in full display."Let's dress up to while away time." She said pulling me to her dressing table. "I think this will be so much funnnn!" I squealed and she laughed."I know it will be fun." She corrected pulling my hair up. "You have such rich and full hair, what's the secret?" She asked tying it up with a peach coloured ribbon. "My mother." I replied in a soft voice. Fiona was silent, she worked as I talked. "She has such long hair too, it's silky and dark." I was smiling as I went down memory lane. "The women in our pack were all jealous of her hair, it reached down her waist, I spent my childhood braiding and unbraiding them, she was my playmate, I never grew up with a sibling, but having her as my mom was enough." "She's a nice woman." Fiona said calmly. "Yes." I agreed with a chuckle. "There was a time I ended up tying her hair into knots all in the name of braiding, she didn't hit me or even snap, instead she wore it proudly ignor
Adrian's pov."What can I do for you Alpha Alex?" I asked as I walked towards my chair in the waiting room. He got up to his feet in reverence as soon as he heard my voice. "Alpha King. Greetings my Lord." He bowed. "Have your seat." I gestured towards the chair that was behind him. "Thank you Alpha." He settled into the chair."For some days now, I kept receiving reports of sightings of rogues at the boundaries of my pack." My fist grabbed the arm of my chair but I tried not to show any emotions. "Unable to keep calm at their frequent spottings, I decided to pay a visit to the outskirts of the pack. That was why I sent my Luna over to ensure her safety if it turned out to be a cover for their plans." He said.I didn't want to admit that I was pleased with his care for her and the action he took to ensure that she was not exposed to danger. "What did you find out?" I asked knowing be was heading somewhere. Alex sighed, "while I was there, I ran into your Beta." My grip tightene
Gretel's POV "What the fuck do you mean you can't find her?!" I screamed jabbing my palms against the bulging chest of the guard before me. "I'm sorry my lady." He bowed his head. "Tell me exactly what happened." I demanded."The guards took the maids to the main hall to check their health sta-" I interrupted him with a slap, "I fucking now that already!" He grimaced in pain, "My apologies." I couldn't help but release a strangled scoff as I stared into the cold dark night. Sebastian can shove his feelings up his behind, I needed to teach Lupe how to know her place and stick to him. For some days, I couldn't take my mind off her confession in the woods in the night of the full moon. She must've thought that she had a place in his life, she must be crazy to think that the dignified Lycan King would stoop so low to her level just because of some worthless fate. The night air was chilly but I didn't care about the cold. All I wanted to do was to deal with that bitch then I will f
Lupe's POV "Please!" My voice was shaky was I stared at the height from where we stood to teh ground. Gretel turned back with a smirk on her face, "Now look at that, the little bitch is scared." She laughed hysterically. My heart was beating heavily, I knew I could fall down to the ground and be fine after a few hours, but falling down that height might kill my pup. A risk I wasn't willing to take, even though I had to crawl on my knees in dirt to plead for her mercy, I would do it. Once, I had mistakenly fallen over a cliff high enough to take a person's life, I had gone on a self approved sight seeing while I was much younger. Mother was busy tending to her Luna duties. I spotted a trail that looked pleasant but it was out of bounds, filled with curiosity, I wandered into a land of adventure and death. The trail had flowers that a little girl my age would squeal over and try to make bunches with. Excitedly, I picked the ones I saw, hoping to make matching bouquets for my mom a
Lupe's pov I pushed myself up, "Thank you." I muttered walking ahead of the guard. "What for?" He asked looking confused.I remained silent, my walls broken. My legs shook as I walked back to castle. I almost lost my child, all thanks to the Lycan king's crazy concubine or whatever she was to him. My legs gave way, I collasped against a wall as soon as the garden little fence vanished out of my sight. My breathing was heavy, it came out in breaks. My chest felt tight, my vision blurry. My legs digging into the sand searching for relief. In my haze, I sighted a figure running towards me."Lupe! Are you alright?" I could hear Dave asking as his hands rested on my shoulders shaking me. His voice sounded as though he was screaming at me from a distance. "Lupe!" He called shaking me, "Keep those eyes opened, what's happening to you?"My eyes darted wildly around in search of any danger but I found none. They found their way back to Dave's concerned face. "Did anyone hurt you?" He w
Adrian's POV "My Lord!" A panicked filled voice called knocking frantically on my door. I grumbled getting up from the bed, the night sky was dark, it was late at night. "It's Cenat, Alpha open up." His voice was filled with desperation.In an increased pace, I hurried to the door, a battered Cenat stood with his upper calf wrapped in white linen."What the fuck are you doing up and about? Alex told me that you were wounded?" He shook his head, "That is not important, we need to hurry!" His eyes were wide. "What's happening?" I asked at alert. Alex had mentioned that Cenat heard something at the hunters camp. "What did you hear?""We need to find Lupe as soon as possible." He groaned placing his hand in his wounded shoulder. It was bleeding again, I could perceive the rotten smell of poison in his blood. "Why?" I asked with a frown. "I plan on banishing her." I added nonchalantly. Cenat frowned, "No, you can't do that." He said grabbing my shoulders."Are you out of your mind?
Adrian's POV The old healer was heading out of the chambers when I reached him, "Go back there, keep him alive till I'm back." "Your highness, I understand how you feel, but it's impossible." His eyes were sad, he had served the royal family all his life including my father. "The kind of poison used is one that slowly and silently kills till it has affected the whole system of the body." He explained. "That wasn't a suggestion Rector, stay with my brother till I'm back. That's a royal order." I frowned."Yes my Lord." He bowed."I will be back as soon as I can, ensure nothing happens to him before then." I said.He nodded, "I will do my best, your highness." He said. "Good." I walked off heading straight to the kitchen where the chief of maids was. There was something more important that I need to do before leaving. "Yo.. your majesty." A maid stammered as she stared at me in shock. "Where's the chief of maids?" I asked staring around the kitchen at the shocked faces of the mai
Adrian's POV For the first time in my life, my wolf was pacing with unease inside me as I stared at the army standing before me. I wasn't feeling uneasy because of Sebastian or his crazy minions, but because of her. Lupe, I needed to find her as soon as possible. "Gretel, we have a score to settle." I growled at her angrily. She smiled at me, her smile made me sick.She smirked tilting her head to the side, "do we? You enjoyed yourself too." I growled rushing towards her but another arrow was struck on my other leg. "That's for calling me Kyna." Her eyes looked dead. Whatever they laced the arrows with, was deadly. My injured legs were taking longer to heal. "Silence!" Sebastian snapped. He looked ridiculous in his metal armour. He must have thought that it would prevent me from tearing his limbs apart while he destroyed my pack. "Listen, Sebastian let's do this later, I have something important to attend to." I said trying to wave him off. Finding Lupe was more important than t
